We performed a comparison between Azure Backup and Commvault Complete Data Protection based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Commvault Complete Data Protection finishes slightly ahead of Azure Backup in this comparison. Commvault can handle the most complex and most demeaning environments effortlessly. It is easy to use, offers a wide range of workloads, and is very scalable. Azure has some integration issues and limits the amount of backup that can be performed.
"The daily backups have become easier since we no longer need to handle large backups. The use of Azure Backup as a service has proven reliable and simplified our daily operations. Previously, we relied on LTO backups for data retention, but after migrating to the cloud and adopting Azure Backup, the delivery process has become smoother."
"The storage backup is very efficient."
"The most valuable feature is the ease in which it backs up our data."
"One of the most valuable features is security and connectivity to the data."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Backup is the file recovery and file vault."
"The product is cost-effective compared to other vendors."
"All of the core features are valuable to us."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Backup is its ease of use and good integration with other Azure services."
"Commvault gives us a single platform to manage and recover our data. Since we are a research organization, backup is one of the most critical parts of our IT operations and services. Internally, we run it as a managed service, and there is a single console that makes it easy for management to see the performance."
"The solution’s user interface for managing the on-prem environment is good."
"Commvault's Command Center is one of the best solutions out there. You can rely on Commvault solutions for the most complex and most demanding environments."
"One of the most valuable features is the encryption which helps save you from ransomware. Because the data is already encrypted, it cannot be encrypted again."
"Well documented SQL views and customizable reports, together with scripts and workflows provides ability to automate processes and ensure proper controls are in place."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use, the graphical interface, and it's high speed."
"Its compression and deduplication allow us to store more backups and save storage space. The reporting is great; we are able to obtain critical business reports and infrastructure/usage information very easily."
"We recommend this product for people who are running the Oracle Virtualization Manager."
"It still does not have a lot of customization, especially if your workloads are not in Azure."
"I would like to see more automation, integration, and security. The price could be better."
"The time required to restore files should be a little faster."
"Azure Backup is limited to certain workloads. It would be helpful if Microsoft focused on enabling backups for Oracle and other unsupported databases."
"The compression ratio of the backup data should be improved."
"It doesn't have the option to have a backup from the database. It has backup for the files, folders, and backup only the whole virtual machine. But if I need to do a backup from the Oracle database, from an Exchange server or from SharePoint, this ability isn't there. There is no application backup."
"The integration with the record database and integration with other applications will be good, especially with the database piece."
"Lacks an AI system that would enable easier upgrading of the hardware."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly GUI."
"It would be nice to have just one email report come in, then we can filter out failures. If everything is backed up, we really don't need to see the report. If it is in a single report. A simpler customised report would be good."
"Support could improve and the initial configuration would be easier with assistance from a professional engineer."
"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions."
"It would be a bit unfair to say that it's complex, due to the fact that it supports so many different workloads, however, if there's anything that is a bit of a shortcoming, then it's the fact that there's a bit of complexity involved when dealing with the product."
"This solution can be complex and difficult to administer because it supports all of the many platforms, so it would help if they could simplify it."
"The HTML interface is a remarkable improvement. However, there are still some features that are not available in that interface that are available in the Java console, but I'm sure that will come with time."
"I would like to see more customizable reports. I have reports going right now, but the daily report, for example, shows something like 40 jobs that ran when there are just a few endpoints on there. I'd like to just know if the endpoint was successfully backed up, not how many times. More customizable reports would be nice to have."
